Looks like a closeup of a sneeze....

hmm.. Did I just figure it all out?

I probably wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for their little brand name call-out in the description. This company has been trying to make its product synonymous with cameras in the same way we call all tissue's Kleenex, so it stands out when someone refers to their camera by it's brand, as above.
Otherwise, specifically the camera work, the time they spent filming themselves, filming a guy bleeding (let's get a closeup!), and in general their behavior didn't seem natural. Maybe it was shock? I don't know, but I'm still inclined to say this is an ad.


It seems to me it's something one would do to document a fucking plane crash.
The fact that there is a man half dying on the floor is enough for me to think this is not a viral ad.

The next thing is, what would that ad tell me?
"Have your camera with you even if you are about to die" ?
"take HD shots of your last moments" ?
"oh there's someone dying! quick, take your gopro and put it on the internet" ?

Isn't that some kind of mixed message and pretty bad as an ad?

Interesting, but the zooms, especially the super face closeup and zoom closer, sort of distracted me. It drew too much attention to the camera movement. Sometimes there is a good reason to hold the camera and zoom still.

Seen a lot of bugs. This ones' handsome compared to most.


Yeah. Definitely not ugly compared to a lot of other bugs out there.

It's not impossible to miss but really, he shouldn't have.
What made him miss was pressure or lack of awareness of where exactly he was standing.


Or he could have not given up halfway through the play. In the slow-mo closeup you can see him hesitate after the ball bounces off the post -- He's so shocked that his shot didn't go in that he fails to block the rebound. Sure, heat of the moment blah blah blah, but if he had followed the ball until it had gone in instead of thinking he was done after he touched it, he still would have made that goal.

Wait... so, oxygen is bad for you? Sheesh, I going to stop breathing immediately! Eternal life here I come!!

Also, what's with the creepy extreme-closeup at 1:55?

I can has closeup?

Different angle. My vid has better closeup, this vid has better distance shot.

Both have BIG FIRE.

This is awesome. Especially the closeup of the squid skin. Never seen that one before.

Here is a closeup of the pony via Boing Boing.

You can see from the closeup that they've modified the teeth of the worm gear that you turn to adjust the width of the wrench. They certainly didn't just scan it in and print it out.

7 minutes of John Stewart's arm in closeup and it still manages to be better than 90% of the shit on TV nowadays, win.
